Winning! Beyonce & Ed Sheeran Set For UK #1 With ‘Perfect’ Duet

Published: Monday 4th Dec 2017 by Sam

When stars with the mega-wattage of Beyonce and Ed Sheeran team up, an electrifying chart run tends to be the end result.

It’s little surprise, then, that the dynamite duo are dominating on the Official UK Singles Chart with their ‘Perfect’ duet.

Dive below for details…

According to the Official Charts Company (who compile the tally), the ‘Perfect’ collaboration is on course to smash past the competition to hit #1 on the British count this Friday.

Should the BeyMix hold steady come then, it will become Sheeran’s 4th UK chart-topper.

There still remains some confusion as to whether Beyonce’s name will be credited (and her 6th UK #1 granted) given that the original was sitting at #3 on last week’s tally.

Theoretically, we can’t see why she wouldn’t, as the biggest aspect of the song’s spike no doubt comes from the arrival of the duet version.

However, the complexities of combining stats from different takes of the same song leaves a lot up in the air. Not just in the UK, but globally. Especially as every region has different rules.

Needless to say, the week ahead will be all sorts of interesting.

Your thoughts?

    • S****** Blonde MUST BE STOPPED December 4, 2017

      TGJ PLEASE GET S****** BLONDE OFF THIS SITE. HE IS A REGISTERED OFFENDER.

      ALSO, YOUR OBSESSION WITH BEY IS REAL. YOU’VE BEEN ON THIS SITE FOR A DECADE HATING ON HER. GET HELP FOR YOUR “PROBLEM”

  3. Anne December 4, 2017

    Great! The song is beautiful, I’ve had a special appreciation for duets (when done well) for as long as I can remember (all 3 of the songs featured in my wedding ceremony were duets) and this one does not disappoint. Hope a live performance is somewhere in the future!

  4. Datredd23 December 4, 2017

    Rih has a scored her 9th number one in the Uk this year no post lol

    • ??? December 4, 2017

      lol and last week billboard named her the 5th most successful female artist of all time on the hot 100. still no post, hmmm wonder why lmaoo

      • Datredd23 December 4, 2017

        Also she placed number 13 on the greatest females albums artist chart one spot above Yonce I see why their isn’t a post lol but remember they called her a singles artist right ?! Lol

      • We are the grandchildren of the slaves you couldn’t kill – tyler December 4, 2017

        Remy lyrically walked right up to Nicki, punched her in the face 10 times and walked away.
        Your fave hasnt been able to recover since. Po chile!!

    • We are the grandchildren of the slaves you couldn’t kill – tyler December 4, 2017

      @Datred33
      Of course there’s no post! Rihanna is a fashionista, a hit girl, she’s not an artist or good entertainer. Damn near over a decade and she still can’t sing LIVE. I don’t get IT!!

      • Datredd23 December 4, 2017

        Um she’s an album seller aswell according to Billboard! You must’ve have missed when she preformed love on the brain because homegirl proved she can sang lol

      • We are the grandchildren of the slaves you couldn’t kill – tyler December 4, 2017

        I honestly dont understand why she doesnt sound good unless shes singing Love on the Brain….

      • Datredd23 December 4, 2017

        She sounds good on Four Five Seconds she slayed that out the park at the Grammies um she slays Stay and Diamonds aswell. Must have never seen Rated R live AOL sessions where she was magnificent!! So your opinion at this point really doesn’t matter

      • We are the grandchildren of the slaves you couldn’t kill – tyler December 4, 2017

        Rihanna has proven time and time again that she is not a good live performer. Her mumbly voice usually sounds like an AM radio dial searching for a signal.

      • Datredd23 December 4, 2017

        Millions of fans around the globe > Your opinion. @ Tyler

      • We are the grandchildren of the slaves you couldn’t kill – tyler December 4, 2017

        Meanwhile, you’re here hating on the Queen Bey. If you dont like what shes doing keep it da phuck movin. Plain n simple ?

      • Datredd23 December 4, 2017

        Not hating on Bey but this site is so biased against Rih! They post every accomplishment of Beys no problem but when it comes to Rih they are haters it’s sickening

      • We are the grandchildren of the slaves you couldn’t kill – tyler December 4, 2017

        Nobody is forcing you to visit this site.

      • Datredd23 December 4, 2017

        No one is forcing me to visit your correct but if I wanna comment on something i will do so. Why should I leave or other fellow Navies leave our favorite urban blog? It’s called proper and correct journalism this site needs it

      • We are the grandchildren of the slaves you couldn’t kill – tyler December 4, 2017

        Clearly it isnt your favorite urban blog. If it was, you wouldnt be acting like a level five hater .

      • Datredd23 December 4, 2017

        Don’t be a hypocrite Tyler your the level 5 hater I think everyone knows that

      • Datredd23 December 4, 2017

        You have hated on Rihanna for years some of the things you have said is pure disgusting so go sit down somewhere please

      • We are the grandchildren of the slaves you couldn’t kill – tyler December 4, 2017

        Tgj and I share the same sentiments about Rihanna which is exactly why I LOVE this site. You on the otherhand, just come on here to complain.

      • Datredd23 December 4, 2017

        Congrats but your still a hypocrite to the max lol

      • We are the grandchildren of the slaves you couldn’t kill – tyler December 4, 2017

        Clearly TGJ must be doing something right. Despite all of the mistreatment, you keep coming back for more. You’re to TGJ what Rihanna is to Chris Brown.

      • Datredd23 December 4, 2017

        Clearly by your comments you have no respect for women shame on you @ Tyler

      • We are the grandchildren of the slaves you couldn’t kill – tyler December 4, 2017

        Don’t act like you know me

  5. Crooklyn December 4, 2017
